Nope, not at all. I have no 250 skills, infact all my skills are below 150 with most still below 100.

I voted to remove the crystals from the game entirely. I use them now because they ARE a part of the game play, but only for foraging and crafting (which I neglected for FAR too long).

I'd rather see them gone from the game completely.

it seems to me ,that the smaller guilds that own an outpost have an over supply of crystals and the larger ones, are always in short supply. Maybe the out put of crystals should be based on the number of peep in the guild that hold the outpost.But of course with all the alts in the game ,some to just make up numbers for HO , that will not work. or maybe it can be worked on the number of guild members attending the OP battle. leave it the way it is. other wise the guilds that have an out post from the start, have a hugh advantage on the guilds that havent even had the pleasure of owning one yet. i myself have 7 master titles and a lot in the 200s ,all achived without crystals except with about 10 stacks from the last temple event and i dont mind if they stay in the game. the peep with heaps of crystals if you dont want them in the game . either dont use them or just give them away. there a lot of peep in the game who would like to use them.or if u think crystals are no good give up your outpost too someone who wants them, iam sure they will give you the mats it produces. lol i dare ya . i bet you a mill dappers you wont do that, will you

w00t, what a thread! Finaly one that really interests me, even to the point where I couldn't drag myself away! My poor, poor pizza suffered tho... got burned...

Anyway, for a funny turn on things... This is how I've felt the game has been changing for me since the crystals came along...

I feel the crystals have given me more time to do other stuff... (which I'm very happy about). With leveling in this game being alot slower than others, especially at higher levels I've often felt I needed to put alot of work in to leveling to feel any sense of accomplishment (not that this is bad), but for me it was just a bit too slow...
Using the crystals sometimes for me means, getting those few levels which I like to gain each day is faster and I've more 'free time' to go do other things I enjoy doing which don't involve grinding, such as:
Events,
Treks,
Boss hunts,
etc... aaand not forgetting
OP PvP battles which ofcourse are a time consuming side effect of having the Crystals... = )
So ofcourse, I'm cutting down the amount of time I level, but just raising the xp I gain. It's a nice balance I think, and thats why I like the crystals. = )
(Maybe they need a little adjusting, but what doesn't ; ) )
